Location is just a little bit away from the busy street. A very nice family and a warm welcome! Breakfast was good! The kids are also very lovely and their youngest son was the translator. His English was very great for his age.
The big bed was very good and the airco was working good. Room size was just perfect for the two of us. The bathroom was very very clean!! We really enjoyed our stay here and this place is really recommended!!!

This family is just wonderful and they care about you so much! Dinner and breakfast was delicious and since we cannot eat that spicy they even made it less spicy for us. Even after checkout we were able to take a shower after a hike to Sigiriya and the host took us to the bus station. Thank you so much for your kindness, we really appreciated it! We can highly recommend this place for a wonderful and quiet stay!

We had a very beautifu stay in this house in Dambulla. The family is really kind and try to help you in everything you need, despite the parents do not speak english but with a little help from their kids communication is not a problem.
Breakfast and dinner are really good

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

눇Very good stay in Dambulla. The owner and his wife are so nice even their English are not so good. But they treated us like a family. The location of the house is far away from the main road and next to a school. The room is very clean. Although there is no AC in the room that we did not feel hot during the night. We had our best sleep in here. The owner used his tuktuk to send us to the bus station finally. Really feel warm and thoughtful in here. Hope we could stay here more time.

눇Wonderful place to stay. The staff is very kind and helpful. They are always doing their best and you will definitely feel as being at your own home. Our grandparents in Sry Lanka :) . Thank you so much!

눇A lovely homestay very close to the centre. The family is friendly and warm and helps you with everything you need! Especially the two boys are very nice and their english is very good. The room is clean and the bathroom was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to everyone!

눇The host , Chandy and her family couldn't do enough for us. The place is in a surprising location down a lane past a couple of containers and you find yourself at the guest house. It is very much like a home stay with the family attending to your needs. Lovely welcome. The rooms are nice. We had the one with AC and did need it. The home cooked dinner was wonderful. The breakfast a little odd but it's hard to get good breakfasts anywhere in Sri Lanka. Nice place to stay
